How many of you have worked watership down ? Is it as full as rabbits as the story makes out, ive never heard of anyone saying they have been or ran dogs or ferreted watership down?

I remember in that film a lurcher caught a raabbit and took to eating it with blood spraying everywhere, there was another rabbit bleeding and choking when caught in a snare, no wonder that generation is full of antis

Whats it like for rabbits and other game for that matter? I take it you live quite close?

Watership Down is quite hot, but I don,t know about 28 keepers, some parts are race horse gallops and others arable land. Plenty of rabbits,hares and roe. Used to ferret plantation farm years ago, never caught really big bags. White Hill (Kingsclere) on the downs is very popular with ramblers, lots of footpaths etc and gets quite packed at weekends. Used to test the dogs on the hares up there many years ago, there and Salisbury plain. I drive over Watership Down every night going to work. Used to have a pint in "The Watership Down" at Freefolk before going home. Very pretty area.

I have family down that way, i might try and get some permission in watershipdown, for rabbits. , Can only get yes or no, no harm in trying.

my step dad lives right beside it and he sed theres thousands there

 

 

I've learnt two things today a) Watership down is a real place and It really is full of rabbits. For me the world is a slightly better place, i've always thought of watership down as a kind of heaven where good ferrets go when they die. . . .

Was working down there couple of years ago, seen loads of bunnies, hares etc, cracking part of the country nice big parks, people are friendly too, mega expensive!!
